Peer and Friends and Career Decision Making: A Critical Analysis

Abstract

6 Abstract: Peer and friends are important aspect of socialization process and their influence and pressure has also received wide acknowledgement in shaping and molding the course of an individual life. The current discourse is based on content analysis as well as field information which explores the nature, level and extent of peer and friends influence in career decision making process of an individual. The data has been collected through library method i.e. searching relevant books, journals, articles, news papers and even internet sources while field information has been obtained through questionnaire from 100 students using random sampling method. All the collected information have critically analyzed, debated and explained to produce theory for generalization while the field information has been analyzed in the form of frequencies and percentages through chi-square test. The analysis and discussion thus give rise to an argument that although family i.e. parents and other family members primarily geared and transformed the behavior of the children in multiple ways, however; peer influence is an asset for developing career opportunities and decision making among youth.
